feijoadas and suede

After getting lost for 2 hours and a half, I finally managed to find Luciana and her feijoada party. She even had to pick me up at a bus stop with her car and drive me to her home... when we arrived, everyone was sitting outside her garage, staring at me and eating.

Her friend Leslie thrust a plate of food on me, and someone else handed me a caipirinha. For the next hours, I spoke to Luciana's mom, her Brazilian friend Ligia (who works here as a waitress while studying English) and her roomate Yuki, from Japan.

By the end of the party, everyone was slightly drunk from the caipirinhas, beer, wine and Vodka+Softdrinks. I ended up speaking for a long time with Leslie, an American chinese woman, who is a football journalist. I couldn't place her age but then she started talking about when she went to see The Clash, and how Tracy Thorn, from Everything But the Girl once sold her a ticket to see The Smiths in The Royal Albert Hall... I told her about my love for Suede, and their upcoming gigs. She was excited about it and we have decided to go together (with Kevin aswell.)

In a few hours I'm heading to the ICA. Kevin and I decided to see Suede play their album Head Music.
